Ray,
A very beautiful & colourful image of the crystal vase filled with multicoloured Jelly Beans set against against a very colourful background in which I can see many faces & outline of people standing there. Created by your artist's eye for composition, very skilful brushwork, beautiful choice & application of your colours in bringing this scene to life on your canvas.

Comment from Charlotte Morse


An excellent entry for the still life contest! The jelly beans look enticingly edible hmmm.
I particularly like the way you've handled the glass (not the easiest subject to paint!) and the three beans lying to the right of it.
Very best of luck in the contest.
Charlotte

What a perfect combination of color and subject. The whole scene looks good enough to eat. The glass decanter of the jellybeans is reflecting light which highlights the jellybean's colors. The surrounding scene could be hiding additional jellybeans. Colorful and playful scene.

Ray, this a wonderful contest entry of the the still life.
The details on the jelly beans in the clear glass and abstract background are great. The colors on the beans and round shapes fit well with this simple, creative presentation.

Jelly Beaaans!! I love jelly beans since I was a child . It's a beautiful still life creation that deserves the highest rating . I like the cold tones but not too much cold ... the glass and how you placed everything in the frame .

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan


You are creating evidently something very new. A symbioses between traditional and abstract art in a very personal style. I have seen creation in this style only in your portfolio. This is witness to a very creative mind. Good luck!

Comment from Thomas Blanks


My A1C level is going up just looking at this painting of jelly beans, which are better than Gummy Bears. I like the off-center placement of the candy dish and the three outside the dish. But where are the black ones? I like the black ones.

Comment from Shadow catcher


Wow, what a creative entry for this contes, as only you could do! The abstract colors in the background not only compliments the colors of the jelly beans, but also sets them off. I like the light reflections on the jelly beans as well as the glass which gives the image depth. Your slightly off-center placement is beautifully balanced out by the three jelly beans lying near the base of the glass. A very clever and unique entry for this contest, best wishes to you!

This might be one of my favorites (of many) of yours. The jelly bean glass is visible, but still blends. Great detail, contrast and color.
